Hey guys, been extremely busy have not posted in a while.

Anyways, I took my first economics class in college. MircoEconomics 101, just wanted to post what it is like for me to sit in this class.

Saving = depression
We must spend
World War 2 got us out of the depression
Unregulated markets do not work, in fact the professor stated "look what mess we are in now" lol what a clown.
We have ridiculous graphs and mathematical numbers which I do not know were they are gotten from yay for arbitrary number theories.

Anyways, this is what economics is like in Baruch College cuny.

Back to my studies guys.

I've found most of my econ professors to be somewhat conservative. They may say things like deficit spending and low interests rates are required to get out of recessions but they don't think things like cash for clunkers are a good idea at least. I would try to go to their office hours and talk to them about Austrian Economics. I talked to my professor for this semester about it and he was familiar with Mises, Hayek, Rand, etc. He's a big Bernanke fan but we had more in common than you'd think. If you can recommend some articles, books, or videos for them, I think a lot of them will try to go out of their way to help you out a little bit. I talked to him about some of Peter Schiff's ideas and he agreed with a lot of them. For instance that growth comes from savings.
